Bootcamp REMOTE15-weeks of immersive and hands-on training delivered remotely through live instruction and recorded lectures. Students are expected to spend a total of 20 hours per week on Evolve studies. Live online sessions meet Monday - Thursday from 7:00pm to 9:00pm CT. For additional instructor/TA support, open office hours are held one (1) hour before and after the live online sessions. Students will watch pre-recorded lectures and lab tutorials before they come to class, which allows more time to be spent getting hands-on with the labs. First 30 minutes of the live online sessions are spent addressing student questions and reviewing key concepts and discussing how they apply in a real work environment. Students are then broken into smaller teams of 4-6 to work through the labs and work on the live project. Instructors and TAs make their rounds to assist students where needed.
